Marilyn Manson’s "Don't Answer the Door" at first sounds like a scene straight out of a horror movie or the poetic mind of Edgar Allan Poe, where the subject is trapped inside while voices scream from the outside. But when you look closer at the lyrics, it looks to actually be a song about survival, getting sober, and taking back control of your life. Instead of being a song about hiding in fear, it is about setting hard boundaries. It shows that true power doesn't come from fighting your past mistakes, but from locking them out completely so you can heal. The song starts by setting up a safe space away from the rest of the world: “Unscrew the lightbulbs / In your eyes / Let my darkness inhale you.” Here, Manson is setting up the idea that he is deliberately choosing to take sanctuary in a place of darkness by removing himself from an artificial light. In this darkness, away from all the noise, he can finally listen to his inner voice. This imagery perfectly mirror...
Some TikToker, who describes herself as a "seeker of wisdom and beauty in all," and who wants to be the savior of women by perpetuating false stories about men she doesn't like and calling it spirituality to get attention, decided to make a video about the recent collaboration between Marilyn Manson and Ronnie Radke and what she finds problematic about it. Not one to be silent when such lies are spread, Ronnie Radke made a reply TikTok video calling out her lies as well as falsehoods in the comment section. Though the TikTok video can no longer be seen on his TikTok account, you can view it on his Instagram page.
Below is a transcription of what Radke said about Manson after reading a news headline that said, "A Years-Long Investigation Into Rock Star Marilyn Manson Over Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Allegations Has Been Dropped, California Prosecutors Said On Friday":
“Years long investigation dropped. Do you understand what that fucking means? That means that many years of investigation could never find any evidence. And there’s way more to the story that I know that you don’t. So, your parasocialness is showing and it’s an embarrasment to women alike. Because all you’re doing is perpetuating this nonsensical idea that ‘men bad, women need to be saved.' You’re the one that made Marilyn Manson. You made Marilyn Manson famous in America. You guys created him and then you try to destroy him.”
